TLDR
Three cases of epidemiologically linked upper extremity NTM tenosynovitis associated with exposure to hurricane-damaged wood illustrate the importance of molecular methods for speciating phenotypically similar NTM, as well as the limitations of laboratory-based surveillance in detecting point-source outbreaks when the source is environmental and may involve multiple organisms.

TLDR
Specialized compartments in the hand such as the pulp space, nail folds, joint cavities, and tendon sheaths facilitate bacterial containment and abscess formation, rendering immune response less effective.
